A/N: This is the sequel to 'Prom Night'. I'd like to thank Melibaskie for the title! Thank you!!
Chapter 1
"I'm home!" I yelled as soon as I walked into the house. I had just solved a case and helped a ghost find justice. The thing about this entire ghost thing is that most of the ghosts' bodies haven't been found so when I tell my partner where the body is they automatically think I'm the prime suspect.
Have you ever watched Bones? Or Medium? Well like Bones I have a partner in the FBI. He's really cute actually; if I wasn't in love with Edward I would probably fall for this guy. And like Medium I help ghosts find justice except I don't dream about them. And like Medium I tell them where the bodies are and they believe I'm the culprit.
My partner Special Agent Edwards, yeah I know weird, knows my secret as does Edward. But they are the only two that know. At first Edwards didn't believe me but once I told him about his little sisters murder, he believed. I felt for him, I mean I was there telling him what his sister was telling me and I found his sisters killer.
He had to get a psychiatrist to get through it. They do that in the FBI. Edward became an FBI agent already but we couldn't be partners. It makes sense actually, if we were partners it could inflict our jobs. Edward, as you all know, is the jealous type so he doesn't really like Edwards being my partner.
It's been six years since I graduated from high school which means that both Edward and I are now 23. Yeah I know it's old. I've been in training and school for the past six years and I graduated early. I barely got my doctrine but I know all the stuff already. Edward as well just became a Special Agent.
If your wondering why I kept saying 'Special Agent' it's because they refer to agents that are younger than 37 as 'special'.
Just so you know I still have Melissa around. She guides me with the ghosts and bodies. I'm surprised she hasn't like moved on yet, it's been five years I think I got the hang of things by now.
I walked into the kitchen and went straight to the fridge. I sighed as I saw no food in the fridge before I closed the door. I looked up and jumped, "God!" I breathed out, "Don't do that."
Edward smiled before he placed his hands on my hips, "I'm sorry but you'd think after five years you'd get used to it."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled, "Well you'd think after five years you'd sleep with a woman and you haven't done that either." Yup, he hasn't. Apparently we haven't had that right 'moment' yet. Bullshit! It's been five years there have been plenty of 'moments'. The thing is I don't know if he's doing it, or rather not doing it, to protect me or to protect himself.
He sighed before he let go of my waist and brought my arms down to my sides, "I've already told you before…"
"There just hasn't been a right moment," we both said at the same time.
I rolled my eyes with a small smile, "Yeah I know, I know." And you'd think after five years of being together he'd make a move and finally propose. The only reason I haven't left him is because I love him. And he's not a jackass like some boyfriends I know people have.
If he's not being abusive and he's not an asshole and he's not pressuring you into having sex with him then there's no point in leaving him. Yeah sure we haven't had sex but I know there's a bigger reason behind it all.
And he hasn't proposed but maybe that's why we haven't had sex. Maybe he thinks the perfect moment would be when he proposed. The reason for him not proposing…that I don't know but there has to be a reason for that as well.
"So…you up for going out to eat?" I asked before I walked over to the sink and washed my hands. It felt like I still had some dirt on my hands from the case.
"Sure where you want to go?" he asked. By the way we had already moved out. We were now living in LA; a great place for dead bodies.
"The usual," I said with a shrug. Having busy lives meant that we didn't always have food. So we ate out a lot. We slid into our usual booth and waited for Don to get us the usual. We'd been there so many times that we always ordered the same thing and Don had become a friend.
I slid closer to Edward and laid my head on his shoulder, "Edward?"
"Hmm?" he took my hand in his.
"Why won't you sleep with me?" I asked.
"I sleep with you every night Bella."
I rolled my eyes, "You know what I mean," I pulled my head away to look at him, "There's got to be another reason and I just can't figure out what."
He let go of my hand and placed his folded hands on the table, "Let's not talk about this here."
"Are you not…attracted to me anymore?" I asked.
"What? Bella what kind of stupid question is that?"
"It's a question and it's not stupid. Just answer the freakin question Edward," I watched as he looked around before looking at me.
"Yes of course I'm still attracted to you."
"Then what is the reason?" I asked a bit more loudly this time.
"I just," he paused to take a deep breath, "I don't want us to…start and then you start, I don't know, getting flash backs and we have to back down."
"I told you a thousand times that I'm ready and I'm over it already," I reasoned.
"That's what you say but what will your body say once we start? I don't want to get you back into that state again," he said softly.
"Look I know you mean well and all but nothing you do will make me remember it," I lightly placed my hand on his.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because the only way I'm going to remember it is if you force me to do it like he did. You won't do that," I retorted.
"I just don't want to risk it," he said slowly.
I pulled my hand away mad, "Bullshit. No man would be able to not have sex in five years. I'm pretty sure that by now you're banging your secretary in your office every fucken day," I slid out of the booth, ignoring him, and walked towards the exit.
Right before I could reach the exit someone stopped right in front of me. I came to an abrupt stop and looked up to see Edwards. "Swan, you leaving?" he asked.
Edwards was definitely handsome. He has blonde-brown hair with it only spiked up in the front. He has a light complexion, eyes as blue as the sea and he is definitely built. "Uh," I looked back at Edward; he was walking his way over here, "Yeah I am."
"Is something wrong?" he asked.
"No, no, I'm fine," I told him. I could tell that he didn't believe me. And I knew you could see on my face that I wanted to burst out in tears. I felt like my heart beat had slowed down painfully and my shoulders were heavier than usual. So I decided to change the subject before he wanted more information from me. Which would only make me cry, "So what are you doing here?" I asked.
I kept my eyes on the ground as much as possible, "I have a date."
"Another one? What will that be your fourth one this week?" I asked sarcastically. Edwards was a kind of a player…kind of. He went out with girls a lot but they never seemed to stick.
He smiled down at me, "No, but you are close to the right number though."
I couldn't even smile. What I need right now was comfort but the problem was I didn't want it from Edwards I wanted it from Edward. A big problem since he was the one I was mad at. I just bit my lip and looked down, "Well I guess I'll see you later," I was about to pass by him when someone grabbed my arm.
A/N: Sorry it's short!! But I hope you like the first chapter!
